While I really like 1. I don't much fancy 3. Also, I'll rather buy the 1.3x 1D MKII when it's price drops a bit more. I'm not that much of a pixel guy, right now 6 million of them are perfectly sufficient, as I don't like cropping my photos much.

5D and holy trinity of primes. Now the 90mm TS-E TS-E fly bit me. I hate these forums.

hmmm. buy a 20D now then sell it at a loss a couple years from now go get full frame... or buy a full frame 5D now, get the extended warranty and shoot with it as long as I did with my AE-1? Will technology just jump leaps an bounds again and again or will camera design/technology plateau for a bit and stabilize like we did from classic 35mm (ae1 MF stuff) to EOS and then EOS to EOS DLSR.

Go buy the camera you like...

people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventionalFull frame and some primes.

I was interested in 5D as a wide angle 2nd camera but it has too compromised a feature set to be truly "captive". And I have realised that for me a 1D series body is a requirement for practical reasons. But as I am sometimes in need of _very_ wide FoV, 5D would be a solution...

How's this for rationalization?I figure that by getting a FF body, I'll save the $500-$800 I'd otherwise have to spend on a 10-?? lens since I'll be able to use my current Sigma 15-30 as an ultra-wide! So a 5D will really only cost me between $2400-$2700, and I won't have that other lens to haul around.

Jon I love your logic, that's the way I go about justifying purchases that I really should not make. Number 1 and 5 do it for me. However I am interested in the new N too and cant decide which I would get the most use from, as they are both a lot of money I am treating them as the same price for comparison purposes, the debate goes on ... internally.
